Please reconsider making this land into a parking lot. We have less and less neighborhood parks for our children to play in, which leads to more children staying inside playing video games and surfing the Internet, which also leads to more obesity.

When two parties enter into an agreement, each gains from the arrangement. Much has been reported about what Worcester State will gain from the conversion of the Chandler Magnet ball fields into a parking lot. However, one question remains: HOW WILL THE SCHOOL CHILDREN AT CHANDLER MAGNET GAIN FROM THIS AGREEMENT? The elimination of the play space around the school will not improve students’ social and physical well-being. The building of an access road around the school to reach the proposed parking lot will not increase student safety. Increased noise from traffic flow and foot traffic around the school will not enhance student focus on classroom learning activities. In this world, you hold onto something good until you find something better. The city manager’s short-sighted plan to convert Chandler Magnet’s ball fields into a parking lot does not qualify as something better.
